We still seem to manage to stuff things up close in to goal. ?

    Cats are down on players but they play such a stodgy brand of footy. They make us look like Carl Lewis

     

    Strange game, we’re dominating around the ground but not converting... where have I heard this before.

    Goody needs to go absolutely bananas at them, they look like they’re taking the mickey with there finishing into the fwd 50.

    Trac has had a bunch of it. Oliver has started better than last week which is good.

    Intensity has been pretty good, we should be further in front though blew some very easy chances.

    Fritsch has made 3 mistakes that all cost us goals. Get those right and we’d be at least 3 in front.

    It’s hard to know how difficult it is to mark the ball, but we just dropped 3-4 marks that would have put us in a much better place.

    Good energy but costly in some ways.

    Should be further in front but at least we're not being jumped and four goals down.

    Great to see the likes of Tmac and Jones really pushing hard. Even Brayshaw seems to be running hard 

    Hope the weather holds and we run them off their feet.

     I hope they have planned for Hawkins rucking in the forward line, he is very dangerous there.

    I repeat.

    Missing Max in the ruck. Jackson back to ff please.

    Langdon is an out and out champion as is Trac.

    Sharpen skills please Lever and May.

    Jv needs to lift. Started well.

    Kozzie to start kicking goals.

    2.4 to 1.1

    Wasting our chances again just like the first three rounds.  Jack Viney 2 behinds, come on you are supposed to be a leader

    At least we did not give up a goal at the death. Very un Melbourne like.

    We have to take our opportunities. To many easy dropped marks & fumbles. Viney should be kicking those goals. 

    We also have to man up so Geelong can't play this slow game where they chip it around

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
